The game consists of a series of plays (called 'downs'). At each 'down', the attacker has possession and tries to gain ground and score by kicking, running or passing.

Scoring:

A side scores when one of its players carries the ball over opposing goal line (7 points) or with place-kick which goes over centre of goal line (3 points). The winner is the player with most points when the clock shows time 00:00.

'Downs'

Play stops, and another 'down' is taken whenever the player with the ball:

a) kicks

b) scores

c) runs into touch
